Growing Pains

I have had major growing pains this week. They haven't felt like the round ligament pains I had early in the pregnancy. These aren't as painful, but are rather just achy. I started back to work this week and haven't been drinking nearly as much water as I should be. I thought this was the reason for the pains, but even when I try to drink more water in the evenings, the aches still continue. I have now realized they're growing pains. I think this is pretty exciting as growing pains means a growing belly. And a growing belly means growing babies. Yaaay!

Also new this week is the lack of any major vomiting! I've gone a whole week! I'm slightly reluctant to say it might have been the end. I still get nauseous when I smell something I don't like (smelly Eric breath, mystery food being microwaved in the break room, etc), but no vomiting.

Since I've started back to work this week, I've had to wear real clothes and this is becoming more and more difficult to do. Rubberbanding pants to stay closed is just not comfortable! I am so grateful to have received hand-me-downs from my sister and a friend of their old maternity clothes. I pulled them out last night and tried them all on. What a difference they make! I think I'm officially a maternity clothes wearing girl! I've heard most women (with a singleton pregnancy) start wearing maternity clothes when they are around 20 weeks pregnant. Since I'm 16 weeks this week and a twin pregnancy starts to show a month earlier than a singleton, I think I'm right on track (at least that's my logic!!:) )

Our next appointment is on Monday. We are so excited as we will probably find out the sex of the babies and the shopping can begin:)
